" I am Mr. Smiley and I am every where!!! PS-Not to be a self-promoter or anything , but I am a really famous guy and to have two famous guys shaking hands in the Tiki Ti is a feat that cannot be beat! This photo will become more famous than the one with Elvis shaking hands with President Ford! Ps-always trust what I say(even if I'm delusional or losing it because I am stuck 200 miles from home broken down on the side of Intersate 5)!

M mrsmiley Tiki Socialite Las Vegas, NV Joined: Apr 03, 2002 Posts: 3197	M mrsmiley Posted posted on Mon, Oct 20, 2003 7:45 PM Now that I have your interest, Mr Smiley was of course joking about Vintage Girl and him being a couple-hence I said it was an inside joke :). Because I know you all are hanging on my every word, here's the story. Last saturday some of us went to Oktoberfest in Torrance. Vintage Girl and I were dressed in German clothing (she in a Drndl and me in my Lederhosen). There was a short guy also wearing lederhosen who was a bit of a character-he said he was the Official Oktoberfest Dance Instructor and had a laminated sign that he made so proclaming the same! He saw V.Girl and I together and assumed (as many did) that we were a couple. At one point he even asked me if I wouldn't mind if he could dance with her. Instantly, Charles (Vintage girls REAL other half-and inspiration on the "sorry charlie" comment)and I said "yes" at the same time. He and I looked at each other and chuckled. So there you all have, know your lives are fulfilled because I let you all in on the Oktoberfest inside joke! Maybe Marsha will post her pictures soon-I'd love to see them again.

While cruising the beautiful beaches of Venice and Marina delRey, I stopped by the Sherman Gallery and they do indeed have a few pieces left. Seemed like a couple of each.

Forgive me I was writing as fast as I could: Aloha There's another he described as a living room scene with a chaise lounge and record player. I didn't find it. Andy then went on to tell me that Jeff Dion at Dion Gallery in Redondo Beach has a few. Jeff described this framed and unframed: Nite as well as the hula girl with 2 tikis shown above. Dion Gallery (310) 375-3672 Lisa Lisa Rats, must change to URLs. Here goes. [ Edited by: Cultjam on 2003-10-23 16:05 ] [ Edited by: Cultjam on 2003-10-23 16:07 ]

That Tiki Ti painting is awesome! Please put me down for one of the prints of that image. Great work! By the way, I'm the one that you corresponded with awhile back about the "Island Images" boxed portfolio. Thanks for the insight into that incredible set. For anyone who is a fan of Miles' art...if you can get your hands on one of the portfolios, definitely buy it. It is extremely limited and contains 10 beautifully printed island/tiki/hula images. I think the edition was only 25. I stumbled upon it at a small gallery in San Diego a few months ago and immediately snatched it up. Here's what is in it: ModMana :drink:

I really like it. I believe that the print at Dion that CultJam is referring to is this one: http://www.kooch-e-koo.com/GALLERY/HTML/TIKILAND.html I saw this at Dion Gallery about a month ago. It's called Tikiland and it has the lounge chair and record player. Pretty cool print and it's framed very nicely (If Dion still has it).

NOW the frame is carved...the original is back in my hands......i need to marry the two together...then the only thing that is missing is the actual date and time for the inaugural sale/painting hanging/drinking ceremony at the tiki ti itself...so i'll be popping in on Mike and Mike tomorrow night with proofs in hand prepared to find out when (before they close for a bit on NOV 23rd....) we can all get together for a night of CRAZY print customizing...i'm thinking maybe next week sometime???...i would love to sign prints there and would warn that the earlier you get there the better...this way you'll get one of the prints available for cash and carry...(the number of prints to be made available that night is still unkown...more 411 to follow...) if you DO decide to get a print that night... wait until i have had at least a few chichis before you approach me to scribble something personal on your copy of the piece...this way you'll get a MUCH better drawing out of me! i'll be there until closing at which time i'll walk home SLOWLY but smiling! note these 9 proofs will be customized with some additional painting before that night and will be for sale there...first come first serve! when i know more...so will you!
